Chalcothraupis ruficervix ruficervix -Prévost & Des Murs, 1842- (Golden-naped tanager / Tangara nuquirrufa)
The golden-naped tanager is found in South America from Colombia to Bolivia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forest. Six subspecies are recognised.
Golden-naped tanagers have plumage similar to those of the metallic-green tanager, the swallow tanager and the blue-and-black tanager as adults of all three species are primarily blue with black facial masking, however, the golden-naped tanager is the only primarily blue tanager with a golden or reddish crown patch or nape.

This was my third Lifer for the day (not the competition). I have never seen a Porcupine in the wild. We found this one snoozing along the road with no care to the world. Cerulean Warbler
Wikipedia: The black-naped oriole (Oriolus chinensis) is a passerine bird in the oriole family that is found in many parts of Asia. There are several distinctive populations within the wide distribution range of this species and in the past the slender-billed oriole (Oriolus tenuirostris) was included as a subspecies. Unlike the Indian golden oriole which only has a short and narrow eye-stripe, the black-naped oriole has the stripe broadening and joining at the back of the neck. Males and females are very similar although the wing lining of the female is more greenish. The bill is pink and is stouter than in the golden oriole.

Wikipedia: The black-naped monarch or black-naped blue flycatcher (Hypothymis azurea) is a slim and agile passerine bird belonging to the family of monarch flycatchers found in southern and south-eastern Asia. They are sexually dimorphic, with the male having a distinctive black patch on the back of the head and a narrow black half collar ("necklace"), while the female is duller with olive brown wings and lacking the black markings on the head. They have a call that is similar to that of the Asian paradise flycatcher, and in tropical forest habitats, pairs may join mixed-species foraging flocks. Populations differ slightly in plumage color and sizes. The black-naped monarch breeds across tropical southern Asia from Iran and Sri Lanka east to Indonesia and the Philippines. This species is usually found in thick forests and other well-wooded habitats.

Opportunity Naps Henry is a hard charging playful kitten, he wears out after a bit and sometimes just naps where he is, found in North Carolina.
The Chestnut-naped Antpitta is a typical ground-dwelling Grallaria, although it sings from a low perch, and which strongly prefers bamboo thickets in humid montane forest at 1900 to 3150 m. Its geographical range extends from north-central Colombia to northernmost Peru. As is typical of the Grallariidae, very little has been published to date concerning this species’ ecology, although the eggs have been described, and the Chestnut-naped Antpitta is presumably a fairly strict insectivore. Three species of the Chestnut-naped Antpitta are recognized and these differ principally in their crown colour and the intensity of the saturation to the underparts, although there are also some differences in their vocalizations. The basic plumage pattern, common to all three, is of gray underparts with a darker face, and rufous-brown upperparts, usually brightest and most rufescent over the crown and nape. doi.org/10.2173/bow.chnant1.01

Pomerode Zoo in Santa Catarina, BR.
All the birds and animals in the zoo have no condition to go back to nature, for they get to the zoo via animal traffic or mistreatment, or they were already born in a zoo for being an endangered species that needs to be protected.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
Little Owl (Athane noctau) having a quick nap between flights to and from the nest with food for its chicks.
zzzzzz.... oh wait there's a squirrel running by!! ....The busy squirrel did catch his attention for a moment then back to sleep again. The sun slipped back beneath the clouds again after making a brief appearance to shine a little light on this sleepy owl.
I took so many pictures of the river otters on the one day I had the privilege of sitting and watching them. This image is one that I keep going back to... this little otter that had been playing with it's siblings, climbed up on this tiny bit of beach, plopped down and took a quick cat nap...or maybe better called 'otter nap'!
Thank you for your endless inspirations, comments and visits...have a wonderful weekend!
White-naped Honeyeater, Melithreptus lunatus
≠==============≠
These birds could easily be my fav Honeyeater, if that position wasn't held by their Brown-headed cousins.
This was one of a family that were hunting insects along a creekline.
Taken in La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
This species ranges from Mexico to the mountains of W Colombia. All forms of this brush-finch have a white stripe down the midline of the crown from the forehead to the nape.
White-naped Brush-finches are found in subtropical to temperate elevations, from 1200 to 3100 m in elevation. They forage on the ground, often in family groups.
